Arterial Blood Gas Demonstration is a 6:14 minute video which shows the method to obtain an arterial blood gas sampling from the radial artery. It includes a demonstration of the procedure for the Allen test. The video was created by Ben Foster to assist medical students; however, health professional students studying arterial blood gases, acid-base balance, or health assessment may find viewing the procedure beneficial.

PATSy is an established on-line learning resource. It is a web-based generic shell designed to accept data from any discipline that has cases. The domains represented on PATSy currently include developmental reading disorders, neuropsychology, neurology/medical rehabilitation and speech and language pathologies. PATSy contains 61 data-rich and extensively described cases of adults and children with disorders that can be accessed under 4 domain headings - speech and language, dyslexia, medical rehabilitation and neuropsychology. When populated with multimedia test items and data from patients or participants (usually research or clinical cases), PATSy becomes an educational resource for use in conjunction with more traditional methods of clinical training, professional education and academic teaching about disorders. This multimedia database (video, audio, pictures) also serves as an electronic archive for case-based research as it contains rich collections of test data on research participants. The development of PATSy was funded by two consecutive Nuffield Foundation awards. The PATSy system allows students to access virtual patients, including real patient data in the form of videos, assessments, and medical histories. PATSy makes virtual patients available to trainees, educators, clinicians and researchers in various clinical professions and cognate academic disciplines (Cox & Lum, 2004, Lum & Cox, 1998; Lum, Cox, Kilgour, Morris & Tobin, 1999; Cox, Lum & Kilgour, 2001). The virtual patients can have psychometric and cognitive assessment tests `administered' to them by users. PATSy provides a learning environment in which students may practise clinical reasoning in diagnosis. It provides students with opportunities for practise on a wider range of cases than they would typically see in clinical placements, including access to rare (and journal-published) cases. However, unlike live patient contact, PATSy provides an opportunity for unlimited rehearsal and consistent access to the same cases for a whole class of students. Different disciplines (speech & language therapy, neuropsychology, medical rehabilitation) can use PATSy cases inter-professionally. In short, PATSy provides `anytime, anywhere' access to training in an important area of clinical education. PATSy supports several types of use - researchers and clinicians can access the cases and see test data summaries, information about the patient from the case contributor, and access a list of research publications relating to the patient. In contrast, student access can be set up so that students are not presented with test data summaries but are, instead, required to work through and interpret patients' test results at an item-by-item level of granularity. Information about the system, student evaluation reports, walkthroughs, etc can be found on the PATSy website at www.patsy.ac.uk References:***1. Cox, R., & Lum, C.

This is a case-based simulation in hazard recognition, interagency communication, risk assessment and risk communication for the public health workforce. It is now recognized that bioterrorist risk may come to attention and require "first response" from physicians, nurses, laboratory personnel, communicable disease surveillance specialists, public health officers, and environmental hazmat teams. This is way to practice making decisions in such situations.

In this simulation, the learner is introduced to a client with a medical diagnosis of schizophrenia admitted to the hospital. The nursing assessment includes information about the presenting problem, medical history, social history, curent and past medications, and the mental status. The learner is provided a series of interactive questions (with immediate feedback for right and wrong answers) so that knowledge can be applied. The learning resource is free for use online, although it can be purchased for a nominal fee for use off-line.Although the resource is designed for use by the pre-professional registered nurse, it would be beneficial for licensed practical nursing students and emergency first responders. It could also be used by acute care psychiatric facilities as a component of orientation or continuing education.

In this simulation, the learner will assume the perspective of various public health professionals responding to a natural disaster. They will make decisions on behalf of a county public health director, a public health nurse, an environmental health specialist, and other public health professionals. By approaching the emerging public health issues from these perspectives, the players gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand, the decisions that colleagues in other disciplines face, and how those decisions impact his or her area of expertise.NOTE: This link is to the UM online free courses. They are listed in alphabetical order. One must register by providing an email address and password. Then one can enroll.

Envirorisk is a case-based, problem-solving program in environmental risk assessment and risk communication. You will play the role of a public health professional as you go through the course. This course will develop your ability to investigate an environmental health problem and serve as a resource and risk communicator in your community. EnviroRisk is designed for public health professionals who are asked to address concerns raised by the public around environmental health. The target audience may include sanitarians, physicians, nurses, risk assessors, epidemiologists, and environmental engineers. Community groups may also find useful resources and a framework for approaching environmental health issues.
